Ingredients

Scale

1 package (1 lb) potato gnocchi

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 package (1 lb) Tony Carretta Italian Chicken Sausage Links, halved and sliced

2 shallots, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup white wine or chicken broth

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

3 cups fresh baby spinach

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Cook the Gnocchi:

  • Prepare gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Sausage and Shallots:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and chopped shallots, cooking until the sausage is browned and the shallots are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

3. Make the Sauce:

  • Stir in the white wine (or chicken broth) and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the chicken broth until smooth. Stir this mixture into the sausage and shallots. Return to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

4. Combine and Serve:

  • Add the fresh spinach and heavy cream to the skillet, cooking until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is creamy.
  • Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the chicken broth with white wine.

Pair with a simple side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
